I am doing some PI in low sec, therefore I have to pick up stuff in low-sec from time to time. I am considering buying a Bustard for this purpose. Why: - large cargo possible - +2 Warp stabilizer - nice shield values - can fit an improved cloak
I was thinking about the following fitting, what you think?

Large Shield Booster II Magnetic Scattering Amplifier II Invulnerability Field II ---------------

If you are just fitting cargo expanders in the lows, and are doing PI... Do you really need that extra space such that +2 Warp Strength overcomes the Crane's CovOps Cloak benefit?

Thanks for both replys, will consider both options.
One other idea, should I use a shield extender instead of the booster?

If that cloak is going to be any real use you'll need a mwd.
Unless you desperately need the cargo space I would go for a blockade runner (and fit for agility)

Edited by: Arajus on 02/08/2010 14:44:22 Something like this? Its half cargo, but has 4.8 align time compared to 15+. The tactic with this would to be to jump through the gate, hit the cloaking button and jump to destination (5km from target). Move to target, pick up stuff and jump away. Is there some remaining risk?
What does align time exactly mean? Is it the time it takes to start warping from 0 speed, for example coming through a gate?

Make it wast warper and aligner. If needed, make two trips. I never had any problems, but checking local and intel is a must. Of course one can be a moron and go solo with valuable cargo, but that's just stupid.
Don't make it into a tank, don't make it into a cloaker, just make so it can jump. Fast. Scouts should be able to notify bubbles. Stop whining. |

Unless you are pro at mwd+cloak trick, buy a Crane.
You may be able to haul more, but you won't survive forever.

Ah, well my trips always have lowsec and 0.0, so that's why i said bubbles. Didn't really think people think too much about lowsec hauling ;) My bad. Stop whining. |

Bustard != Fast Bustard != Covert Bustard != Lowsec
Bustard = Badger Mk3
Now, go buy a Crane.

I haven't needed anything larger than a crane so far for PI.
You are missing an mwd but more or less have it good enough.
You don't need increased base speed in a crane, this is mostly used for the cloak warp trick. Fit an inertia stabiliser.
Incidentally I carry 2 expanded cargoholds in the cargo and fit 2 intertia stabilisers. This way you can swap out for extra cargo space over agility if needed. I do this with all my haulers.
The warp disruptors because I hate being out of a combat vehicle and its nice for catching outlaws in high sec fit what you like.
